--- Quote from: M Dogg on August 14, 2012, 02:08:46 PM ---Look, maybe because i grew up in the time of Magic Johnson, but to me you can dominate a game and not score. A dominate player does it on all aspects of the game. No one will call Kevin Martin a dominate player for the Rockets, but he lead the team in scoring. With 2.8 assist per game, and 2.6 rebounds, he obviously didn't do much else, but he score. Now let's take Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. Kobe not only scored 30 points per game, he also had 6.1 rebounds per game and 5.4 assist per game, meaning he played complete games. That's getting it done, that's being dominate.
Lets compare apples to apples. 1992 Dream Team. No one will ever say Charles Barkley was a better player than Michael Jordan. Even during the Dream Team Run. Well Barkley score 18 points per game, Michael only 14.9, Barkley had 4.1 rebounds per game, Michael only 2.4, but Michael had 4.8 assist per game, Barkley only 2.4. Meaning Michael was used more as a decoy to draw attention away from everyone else and then Barkley was usually open. The only players with more assist per game than Michael were Magic at 5.5, and we all know Magic loves to pass, and Scottie Pippen at 5.9, and we all know Pippen loves to pass. But looking just at points, Barkley is the greatest player in the world in 1992.
2012, LeBron had a very Michael Jordan performance. 13.3 points per game, Durant has 19.5. Both had about 5 rebounds per game, but LeBron had 5.6 assist per game compared to Durant's 2.6 assist a game. Meaning LeBron was facing more pressure and found the open man. Of course no one was touching Love on the boards.. LOL... but looking at the stats, it was a very much a team that worked well together and LeBron had a great Olympics. To deny that he was one of the best on the court is to have a bias opinion.
Let's figure an assist was worth 2 points because that's how basketball is scored, you make an assist the person scored at least 2 points. LeBron was involved in 13.3 points per game plus 11.2 points per game for 24.5 points per game. Durant has 19.5 points per game plus 5.2 points per game for 24.7 points per game. Almost even. That's dominating the game like Magic Johnson would, score 19 well Kareem had 25 and Worthy had 22 or 24, yet have 12 assist to make sure they got the points to begin with. That's great team basketball and that's what LeBron did.

HE COMPARED LEBRON TO MAGIC....IF DURANT AND MAGIC PLAYED TOGETHER, DURANT WOULD NEVER GET A HIGHER ASSIST TOTAL THAN MAGIC. NOT IN 2,000 GAMES. NOT NEVER. AGAIN, LEBRON WAS GOOD. HE HAD ALL-AROUND GAME. BUT AVERAGING 13 POINTS A GAME DOESNT EXACTLY MAKE U THE HANDS-DOWN STAR OF THE TEAM. IF UR MAGIC AND UR AVERAGING 12 ASSISTS A GAME, THATS A DIFFERENT STORY. BUT FROM WHAT I SAW, DURANT WAS THE FIRST OPTION AND THE GO-TO-GUY. IF DURANT WAS JUST COMIN OFF A CHAMPIONSHIP, THE MEDIA WOULD BE ALL ON HIS NUTS, SAYIN HE'S BY FAR THE BEST ON THE TEAM AND ALL THAT BS....YALL KNOW HOW IT WORKS. LEBRON IS BEING BILLED AS THE LEADER BEFORE THE TOURNEY EVEN STARTED, BUT THERE REALLY WAS NONE. DIFFERENT PLAYERS TOOK TURNS GOIN OFF. BUT IF ANYONE IS TO BE CROWNED THE BEST PLAYER OF THE TOURNEY, THEN IT'S GOTTA BE DURANT. HE WAS ICE COLD IN SOME OF THOSE GAMES. ALMOST REMINDED ME OF KOBE IN '02 WITH HOW EASY HE WAS SCORING.
